Identity refreshed randomly, talents maxed out instantly.

Old Cat lived up to his reputation as the top cave diver in China, successfully leading Xu An and the other two to the place where the decompression bottles were placed.

From this position, you can already see the sunlight; you just need to keep going upstream to get out.

Having escaped the muddy area, everyone's vision had returned to normal.

Next to the decompression bottle, Old Cat also placed several air compressor bottles, just in case something unexpected happens and there isn't enough gas.

Unexpectedly, an accident actually occurred.

The situation was extremely urgent. Without much hesitation, Old Cat gestured for them to stay and relieve the pressure, then went upstairs to find Jiang Xiyan alone.

To prevent Jiang Xiyan from running out of gas when they found her, he went overboard and brought two extra gas cylinders.

This time, Zhang Su did not argue with the old cat again, and quietly watched the old cat swim downstream again.

Thinking back to how his recklessness had stirred up the mud and sand, Zhang Su still felt a lingering fear and apprehension.

If it weren't for the old cat, he might have lost his life here.

The fear of death overwhelmed his eagerness to find Jiang Xiyan.

He had calmed down by now. The best course of action was to finish relieving his stress, return to shore, and wait for Old Cat to find Jiang Xiyan.

He prayed in his heart for Jiang Xiyan, praying that the old cat could find her as soon as possible.

If they don't find it... he didn't dare to think about the most terrifying consequence.

Feng Yingying was still flustered; she was worried about Jiang Xiyan.

But she had no choice; the fear of death prevented her from diving down again.

A cave diving accident is unlike an accident on land, where there's no such thing as strength in numbers.

It's important to understand that beyond 30 meters, each additional depth places a strain on the human body.

Xu An had seen this situation before on short videos.

In such cases, there is usually only one outcome.

That is to be buried in despair in this cave water.

After spending more than twenty days together, Xu An had become friends with this girl who was exquisitely beautiful and had a sweet smile.

Xu An couldn't bear to watch the other person die here.

Even if it's a stranger, he still can't bear to watch them die.

Xu An glanced at the remaining gas cylinders, took his own cylinder down and hung it aside, then replaced it with two brand new ones.

His actions attracted the attention of Zhang Su and Feng Yingying.

Zhang Su gestured to ask: What do you want to do?

Xu An looked at him and replied: I'll go down and find Jiang Xiyan.

Zhang Su's eyes widened. "Are you crazy?!"

The old cat went to find it, what are you, a newbie, doing getting involved? You're playing with your life!

Even though Zhang Su was very unhappy with Xu An, he was ultimately just a college student and not so bad as to want to kill Xu An.

Feng Yingying also tried to dissuade him: Don't go, it's too dangerous. Old Cat will definitely find Xiyan!

Xu An shook his head: You two can go up after you've finished decompressing. I know what I'm doing, so don't worry.

Immediately afterwards, Xu An prepared to go downstream.

Zhang Su panicked and tried to grab Xu An.

But Xu An was a step faster; with a swift movement of his feet, he shot out like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from their sight.

This scene left Zhang Su and Feng Yingying dumbfounded. The two of them stood there kicking the water, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Crystal Fung: What should we do?

Zhang Su: After decompression, we'll go up. Cave diving is no joke. Old Cat will definitely bring tide Yan back safely. Xu An brought two brand new air tanks. If he can't find Jiang Xi Yan, he'll come back on his own.

Feng Yingying nodded, her face a little pale.

I thought it would just be a simple cave diving trip, but I never expected something like this to happen.

Zhang Su's expression was also very unpleasant.

But the best option now is to decompress and go ashore. If he were to dive down to look for Jiang Xiyan like Xu An did, it would only make things worse.

The two of them, amidst their anxiety, panic, and lingering fear, slowly managed to relieve their stress...

Xu An swam wildly underwater like a runaway horse, moving at an extremely fast speed that exceeded the limits of human underwater endurance.

The reason he dared to dive down to find Jiang Xiyan was because his fish-like physique gave him confidence.

He can breathe freely in the water without worrying about suffocation due to insufficient oxygen.

Moreover, Xu An also noticed an important point: water pressure had no effect on him and did not put any strain on his body.

In other words, Xu An was no different from a fish at this moment.

This is what makes fish so physically strong.

The four windows of the Peach Blossom Jellyfish Skylight are all connected by an underground river.

No one knows exactly how many branch caves, dark chambers, and passages there are underwater. Many areas remain unexplored and untouched by anyone.

No one knows how long the entire underground river is or how deep its deepest point is.

Human beings appear exceptionally small in the face of the immense power of nature.

Xu An did not use up the gas in the tank and breathed freely underwater the whole time. He wore the two tanks for two reasons: first, to show off to outsiders, and second, to prepare them for Jiang Xiyan.

Xu An swam very fast underwater, and soon he saw the old cat's figure. He did not disturb the old cat, but swam into a side cave.

He wasn't searching aimlessly. With his "Eagle Eyes" talent, his eyesight was greatly enhanced. Even in a completely dark underwater cave, he could clearly see the underwater situation and easily distinguish the differences between each branch cave.

Just one glance was enough to imprint the map in my mind.

Meanwhile, the old cat, who was searching for Jiang Xiyan, was analyzing the situation carefully.

The first route that can be ruled out is the one leading forward from the main passage.

Therefore, he paid special attention to the side tunnels along the way.

But he overlooked one thing: Jiang Xiyan was also swimming.

Especially when she realizes she's lost and all alone underwater, she'll definitely panic and swim around like a headless fly.

This is precisely why the search for the old cat is greatly more difficult.

Based on the gas content of the gas cylinder she carried during the dive, Lao Mao deduced that Jiang Xiyan still had at least one-third of the gas remaining.

This means that she is not dead, but in extreme danger.

It was precisely because of this deduction that Old Cat became anxious and eager to find Jiang Xiyan.

This resulted in him consuming gas at a rate at least one-third faster than usual.

Even the experienced Old Cat, a top cave diver, was in such a state; one can only imagine the condition of Jiang Xiyan, a novice. Old Cat dared not think too deeply about it and could only pray that he could find Jiang Xiyan as soon as possible.

At this moment, Jiang Xiyan remained relatively calm.

This was the result of her forcing herself to calm down.

She kept recalling the various underwater first aid methods she had learned before.

The old cat's repeated reminders echoed in my ears.

"Underwater, no matter what situation you encounter, the first thing to do is to stay calm, reduce your breathing rate, and minimize gas consumption."

"Only by remaining calm and having a clear mind can we have a chance to escape danger..."

Calm down, calm down, there's still plenty of gas, enough for me to find my way back.

Under this almost self-hypnotic psychological suggestion, Jiang Xiyan surprisingly calmed herself down and reduced her breathing rate.

She had one-third of the gas left in her gas cylinder, which, given her current condition, would last her at most forty minutes.

If forty minutes pass and she is not found by Lao Mao and Xu An, or if she is not swum ashore, there will only be one outcome for her.

That is death.
